This week The Norristown Chamber partnered with @naef_nasd to connect with @norristownasd High School Students about entrepreneurship and business! The students brought thoughtful questions to our panelists and got to hear the stories of success and failure directly from Norristown area business owners. We are excited to continue building the next generation of business owners while supporting the current community.

Your input can share your community! Montgomery County, with SALT Design Studio’s assistance, is developing a master plan for a new trail gateway along the Schuylkill River Trail in Norristown between Ford & DeKalb Streets. This site has the potential to become a key community destination—connecting residents and visitors to the trails, local neighborhoods, and downtown. We invite you to share your thoughts about how you use trails and open spaces, what amenities and experiences matter to you most, and how this site can best reflect Norristown’s community, culture, and environment. Your input will inform the design and programming of the Lafayette Street Trail Gateway. Use the link or QR code on the flyer to share your insights 🎉
